Chapter 1

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ugh, I thought. Not another day that I have to get up for. Shoot.

I rolled over in my bed, and clicked the 'snooze' button my alarm clock, to shut it up. I peeked out between my closed lids, just to quickly glance what time it was. 6:30am my clock read.

"I'll only go back to sleep for 10 more minutes" I muttered to myself.

I heard a low, angelic chuckle next to me, and was immediately woken up by the sound of my perfect vampire fiancé.

"Edward!" I exclaimed. "I thought you were out hunting with Jasper and Emmett. How come you're back so early?" I said in such a rush. I was so glad to see him back. I missed him so much.

"Good Morning, Sleeping Beauty. I was hunting with Jasper and Emmett, but I couldn't stop thinking about you, so I left them, and decided to make sure you didn't do anything stupid while I was gone. But, if you don't want me here-"

I nearly screamed when I realized what he was saying, and cut him off immediately.

"What?! No! You can't leave me again!" I nearly sobbed into his shirt and was lightly pounding his chest, giving a small temper tantrum right there, with him seeing how easily I break down when he has to leave. He saw the pain in my eyes, and pulled me closer to his bare chest, and whispered in my ear-

"Don't worry love, I wont ever leave you. You'll always have me." And with that, he turned my head towards his, and I could see the solemn promise he just made, complete in his eyes, and he kissed me slowly and gently on the lips, making sure not to overwhelm me when I was in the state that I was.

My heart started racing the second our lips met, and when he heard it skid to a stop when his tongue touched my lip, and he immediately pulled back, with an anxious look on his face. When he finally heard my heart get back its normal beat, he just snuggled up close to me, and kissed my hair, my neck, my collar bone. Everything he could reach but my lips.

He started to hum my lullaby when I realized that we were going to be late for school, and jumped. Edward looked at me in complete confusion and astonishment when he realized that I was trying to get out of his iron grip. He released me, but continued to hold my hand as I got out of the bed, and reached for my brush.

Edward took the brush out of my hands, and brushed my hair for me. When he finished brushing my hair, he kissed my whole neck. Making sure to get all of my neck.

Reluctantly, I stepped away from him, and started to get my toiletries. He looked a little sad at how I was acting. As I was passing him out of my room, he took me up in his arms, and cuddled me to his chest. I kissed him lightly on his stone cold cheek, and promised him that I would be back soon.

Edward set me back down on my feet, and allowed me to go shower. Once I was in the bathroom, I turned the water on hot, and waited for it to warm up. Once I stepped in, I heard a soft knock at the bathroom door. I had answered the knock, and heard the beautiful angelic tone of his voice, telling me through the door-

"Bella, love, I'll be back in a few minutes. I need to go home, and change, and get the car. I promise I'll be back in your room by the time you get out. OK?"

"OK" I said in my normal voice. He would have heard me. He could probably hear everything that I was doing in the shower. Stupid ultra-sensitive vampire hearing.

I finished in the shower about 5 minutes later, after shaving, and rinsing my hair. I pulled a towel around my body, and scurried back to my room. I hadn't realized Edward was back in my room until I was finished getting dressed, and looked over at the bed.

I gasped inaudibly when I saw him. By the time I blinked, he was gone from the bed, and in front of me.

He saw the utter bewilderment in my face, and pulled my hand. I followed him downstairs.

"Bella," he said "You need to eat something. Once you've gotten something to eat, I'll explain. OK?"

I still couldn't speak, so I merely nodded my head. I went over to the counter, and got out a bowl for cereal. I sat down at the table, across from him, and ate my cereal in silence.

When I was finished, I pushed my bowl aside, and sat still, waiting for Edward to explain why he hadn't told me he was in my room, and had just stayed quiet and watched me dress.

"Bella," he said, sorrow in his eyes "I'm sorry. I really am. I should have told you that I was in your room. I apologize for not saying something. It was wrong of me to have done that. I ask of you, your forgiveness. I promise not to do it again."

I kept my poker face, but I was truly gaping at him. He had just made the more sincere apology anyone has ever given. I truly didn't deserve him. I tried to get past the lump in my throat but it was hard. He was just too perfect for me.

I pulled myself together, before I could loose control, and nodded, saying

"Yes Edward, of course I'll forgive you. Just, please, don't do it again. You truly scared me when I saw you."

He chuckled, then said " Well, if we want to get you to school on-time, then we best get a move on, shouldn't we?"

I smiled, nodded, and went to go put my dishes away.
